Starlust Triumphs As Unlucky ‘Isi’ Runs His Heart Out
Having looked at the NBC replay this morning which shows the head on, Rossa took a perfect gap, but a tiring Cogburn shifted onto Starlust as he went into the gap, who in turn shifted onto Isi. Great ride by Rossa, and a courageous effort by Isi.

Morning Frank
I complained from the Pocket, should know better after all these years
Computaform actually tipped the 8 in the 4th for first, so I had a good start
But this previous July winner got me, but that's racing. Next time 🐎
Again Good Luck to the 1.11 winners
Always happy for others

Starlust Triumphs As Unlucky ‘Isi’ Runs His Heart Out
Well done Hollywood and don't forget the very nice run from Beach Bomb! It's worth taking a moment to acknowledge Aiden O'Brien. He could have run COT on the turf and then retired him to stud saying he's a Justify so Americans should buy his horses coz there's a dirt pedigree. Instead, he ran him on the dirt to prove it. It didn't work but if it did that's how legends are made. In SA we seem to be rushing so many horses to Stud. That's not racing, us the public can't go on a journey if the horse is not racing. Not to mention, most have barely proven themselves. Maybe you'll make money sometimes but the industry loses longterm. Imagine Charles Dickens in the Turf Mile! It took 10years after Variety Club for one as good as CD, makes you feel that a real winning chance is always out of
